Gail Reynolds with Declan Curry Show Me the Money Show on BBC News

Lively debate with Declan Curry and the top bosses and entrepreneurs about who’s making money and how they are doing it.

What an amazing evening, from the Radio 5 Live show On the Money with Declan to the BBC News show Show Me The Money

Taking about Small business’s surviving in the world of doom and gloom and how my business in particular has thrived and grown in sales and income.

How did me and my team sell over £6 Million in products this year and over £5.5 Million last year?

How do I as a small business overcome the unexpected and the changes that come up in every day life and business?

What is it that makes the entrepreneurial spirit move forward and build bigger and better within the economical down turn?

Is it really all doom and gloom?

From my point of view it absolutely is not! Business is positively booming and with my 2nd business only opening up on September12th to help other women in business today that need that help support and community spirit.  The book Mum’s The Word went out on the shelves on the 12th too!  Again the book is to share my story, encourage others to do the same, take the leap of faith and move themselves forward into thriving business’s of their own.  the brand new and very Unique forum that compliments the books The Working Woman’s Forum is there to encourage and build friendships amongst women that are striving for success within their own business’s too.

Someone has recommended the book “Crush It” by Gary Vaynerchuk – this talks in a very non-techie way about social media and branding yourself.

As a mini synopsis type thing……of Crush it

Gary has 3 simple rules:

• Love your family
• Work superhard
• Live your passion

Fairly easy non-hyped philosophies/mantras to live life to.

He then explains all of it (social media bits) and at the end provides a checklist as follows (not to the letter but a general gist) :-

1. Identify your passion – well that’s a nobrainer for us all

2. Make sure you can think of at least 50 things to say about your passion that is unique/interesting – again not hard

3. Name your brand and make sure you “own” it

4. Get yourself connected up via blogging, facebook, twitter etc. etc.

5. Get out there – and start contributing to the “Online community”

6. Keep doing it and doing it and doing it

I’ve shortened it massively, but he takes you through step by step what you need to do and how to do it. Brilliant

Ok, why not start popping onto this discussion and giving some of your tried and tested advertising tips and Ideas for leadership?

here are a few of mine:

1. Place an ad in the local paper to start with (small steps)

2. The ad needs to be simple and to the point

3. Linage is the cheapest and by far the best way to go

4. Always advertise in the same paper for a minimum of 4-6 wk, to get a true figure of leads generated

5. Dont be put off by others advertising in your local paper (it must be good if they do it!)

6. Always leave your name and number on the ad.
